I do whatever I want in the entertainment industry

In the living room, the father and son of the Shen family sat face to face with the Li Tan couple. Shen Heng was not an overly serious person who put on airs in private, and in addition to being well-informed, he was actually quite an easy-to-talk person.But Qin Shu has a cheerful personality and Li Cheng is upright, and they can find topics with Shen Heng. The three of them have a very happy conversation, and the topics also revolve around current affairs and Bai Liang.

Only Shen Ruizhe was at a loss. He was nearly ten years younger than Li Tan and his wife, and he was also Shen Heng's son. In Qin Shu's eyes, he was a junior of their generation, and he was treated like a child. The same, whether it's the tone of voice or the way he looks at him.

Poor Shen Ruizhe is one year older than Bai Liang, and is about 1.8 meters tall. He is regarded as a junior by others, and he feels awkward but dare not show it.

Li Qin and his wife have no children of their own, so they take good care of the younger brother's stepson as if they were their own children.

Especially Qin Shu, she has always liked to tease children, and she is also very popular with children, but because of her career, she has never had children.When she met Shen Ruizhe, she felt that this boy was tall and handsome, and he looked like a good boy at first glance, so she liked him very much.

So she randomly grabbed a handful of peanut candies from the basket of snacks, stuffed them into Shen Ruizhe's hands, and said with a smile: "Rui Zhe, come on, auntie will give you something to eat, don't be restrained, just treat this place as your own home .”

Seeing Shen Ruizhe's frightened look, Tan Shu turned her head and covered her mouth with her husband and smiled, "Look at this child who is so nervous, he is so big that he doesn't know where to put his hands and feet, so cute."

With a lot of snacks in his hand, Shen Ruizhe, who was praised as being cute, just felt that his whole body was unnatural, he was not a child at all, he was even bigger than Little Sticky!

Since this is someone else's home and he is here as a guest, Shen Ruizhe had to accept his own role in the eyes of others, and he said dryly to Tan Shu, "...Thank you, auntie."

It was the first time for Qin Shu to be called auntie by such a tall and handsome boy. She thought it was very fresh, and the more she looked at Shen Ruizhe, the cuter she became, and she said, "This kid is really good, even better than Xiaonian when he was young. It seems that Mr. Shen is very cute." teach children."

Shen Ruizhe: "..."

Shen Heng smiled and said, "I'm overwhelmed, and I haven't educated him much."

Shen Ruizhe: It's fine to say that I'm obedient, but isn't it a bit inappropriate to compare the little sticky I was when I was a child with the current me?

Chewing peanuts in his mouth, Bai Liang happily hummed a little tune, and jumped out of the kitchen, just in time to hear their chat.He paused for a while, and when he heard what they said, he ran over with a snort, ran behind Shen Heng, put his arms around Shen Heng's neck through the sofa, and muttered: "What are you talking about? Are you talking about me?" Bad words!"

Shen Heng held Bai Liang's hand and replied with a smile: "No, we are talking about Rui Zhe."

Bai Liang obviously didn't believe it: "I heard you mention me just now!"

Qin Shu giggled and said, "I said Ruizhe is better than you."

Hearing this, Bai Liang couldn't help widening his eyes, and cast a questioning look at Shen Ruizhe. Shen Ruizhe noticed his gaze, and returned him a helpless and pitiful look.

So Bai Liang agreed: "Yes, little Zhezi is so good."

Shen Ruizhe: "???"

Qin Shu glanced at him, and joked: "Look at you, you are all elders, and you are still so unstable, do you often act foolishly at home?"

Bai Liang hugged Shen Heng's neck tightly, put his head on Shen Heng's shoulder, and hummed dissatisfiedly: "No, I am obedient."

Seeing that he was so tired, Qin Shu clicked her tongue twice: "I never saw you being so clingy before. When I was a child, you didn't give me a hug. You looked cold and independent. Why are you so tired now?"

Bai Liang's face turned red when she said that, but he still insisted: "I'm in love now, so it's normal to be a little tired!"

Shen Ruizhe said that he was used to it. When he was at home, he had even seen scenes even more gross than this, and he had already practiced the ability to not be surprised by it.

A few of them chatted back and forth, the small living room was very lively, their voices were transmitted into the kitchen, and they could be heard clearly through the sound of cooking.The two old people who were cooking in the kitchen listened to their chat, with gratified smiles on their faces. This family has not been so lively for a long time.

Seeing that Bai Liang was so careless, Qin Shu deliberately brought out the embarrassing things about Bai Liang's childhood and told the Shen family and his son.

Seeing that his senior sister didn't care about his image, Bai Liang told Shen Heng his dark history, for example, because he was greedy for candies, he chewed off his deciduous teeth while chewing candies.During the tooth replacement period, because I lost my front teeth, I was afraid of being laughed at if my words leaked, so I dared not speak for a long time.Because of his short stature, he was always ignored no matter during rehearsals or performances. Sometimes, when the roll call was called, the teacher who led the team called his name but could not see other people. In the back of the crowd, the dough turned around, and told the teacher that he was there with a small milk voice, and so on and so on.

Bai Liang blushed with embarrassment when he heard the dark history mentioned by Tan Shu, and covered his ears in a deceitful way, pretending that he didn't hear it, and neither did anyone else, and kept shaking his head in denial.

Shen Heng listened carefully, looking very interested, and was amused from time to time, and laughed softly.

Seeing him smile, Bai Liang snorted, and didn't care so much.

Tan Shu was chatting, remembering that she was helping in the kitchen at the beginning, she stood up and said to the others: "You guys talk first, I'll go into the kitchen to see how the teacher is cooking."

After she said this, everyone realized that the masters of this family were still busy in the kitchen, and they were two elderly people. They should not wait for dinner so peacefully as juniors.

As the older one, Shen Heng can also do some housework at home. Today, he came here as Bai Liang's lover to visit the two old people, but he hasn't greeted the two old people since he entered the door, which is really disappointing. As a courtesy, I also planned to follow into the kitchen to see if there was anything I could do to help.

Seeing that he was leaving too, Tan Shu smiled and said to him: "Oh, Mr. Shen, you don't have to go in. The three of us are enough in the kitchen. You should chat with Li Cheng in the living room."

Shen Heng said modestly: "How embarrassing."

"What's the matter with embarrassment? Let's see you outside. Just treat this place as your own home. Are there so many rules for eating at home?"

It was Mr. Chen who said this. He was coming out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes. He heard the conversation between Tan Shu and another person at the door. When I went out, I started educating people in a spirited manner.

When Shen Heng saw Bai Liang's teacher, he quickly honored him as Mr. Chen, and stepped forward to take the dishes.

Qin Shu couldn't let them rush to serve the dishes, so she also moved forward to take over.

Mr. Chen leaned over and refused Shen Heng and Qin Shu's help, muttering: "I don't need your help, just serve a dish, it's not a big deal, don't you look down on me, old man, go find a chair and sit down for a while The two of you are ready to eat."

As soon as Bai Liang heard that it was time to eat, he groaned, grabbed two nearby chairs and walked towards the dining table.

Seeing that Bai Liang was gone, Shen Ruizhe didn't know what to do. Seeing that others were helping, he could only keep up. Following Bai Liang's example, he found two chairs and moved them to the dining table.

After all the dishes were served, the teacher's wife came out of the kitchen. She saw so many people, she was smiling, she looked at Shen Heng, then at Shen Ruizhe, and was very satisfied with them.

"This is Xiao Shen and Ruizhe that Xiaonian mentioned. Oh, these two children are really tall, and they are both talented. At first glance, they are carved out of the same mold. Our Xiaonian is really lucky and discerning."

Shen Heng bent slightly, and said to the old man with a smile: "Ms. Ma'am, it's the first time to visit you at home. I don't know if it has caused any trouble to you."

The teacher quickly waved her hand and said: "Hey, we are all a family, what troubles are not troublesome, no trouble! You can come to visit our two old things and spend the holiday with us. We are too happy! Come on, sit down quickly For dinner, I didn’t cook anything today, I hope you can get used to it.”

Shen Heng replied: "Nothing, the dishes you cooked are already very rich."

When they were talking politely, Bai Liang had already honestly found a seat to sit down, and now they started to eat, completely impolite.

Because it was not at his own home, Shen Heng couldn't say anything about Bai Liang, so he sat down beside Bai Liang.

Bai Liang took a mouthful of the sweet and sour pork tenderloin. He looked so delicious that he was going to pass out, and he made a noise with joy. After eating, he said to his wife: "My wife's cooking skills are still so good!"

The teacher's wife said cheerfully: "I knew you like to eat this, come on, eat more, and grow taller. You can see how tall Xiao Shen and Ruizhe are, and you can see that they are not picky eaters. You are only picky eaters." Not long."

Bai Liang was poked at the sore spot, puffed out his cheeks and pinched another piece of flesh for himself, and said angrily: "The two of them are blessed by blood, they cheated."

The teacher smiled for a while, and then said to Shen Heng and Shen Ruizhe: "You guys also eat more, these are common meals, although they are not as delicious as those in big hotels, but they are enough."

Shen Ruizhe was looked at by his teacher's loving eyes, and suddenly couldn't help but become a good boy, probably because he lacked the care of female characters since he was a child.He sat upright, holding the bowl in one hand and holding vegetables with chopsticks in the other. He nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "Okay, you can eat too."

The more the teacher's wife saw Shen Ruizhe, the more she liked him, she wished she could treat him as her grandson.Shen Ruizhe's appearance is really easy to please women, but it's a pity that he used to pick up girls and made himself nondescript. Fortunately, he has corrected it now.

Bai Liang was very impatient looking at the delicious dishes on the table. He wished that one chopstick could pick up several dishes at the same time, but the truth was that because he was used to eating with a spoon at home, the chopsticks were not easy to use, and the dishes always fell off. to the desktop.

Seeing that he was so-so, Mr. Chen made another mistake with his teacher's brush, so he couldn't help but say to him: "You're such an adult, why don't you know how to use chopsticks?"

Shen Heng quickly explained: "It's my fault, I spoil him too much at home, and often let him eat with a spoon."

Old Chen said disapprovingly after hearing the words: "This is your fault, you can't get used to this bad habit."

Like an adult who admitted his mistake, Shen Heng responded repeatedly.

The teacher's wife couldn't see that a good home-cooked meal was made serious by her old man, so she said to him: "Don't bring the way you teach students to the dining table, it's just a meal, use chopsticks or spoons Is it important?"

Mr. Chen choked on his wife, put a piece of braised pork into his mouth embarrassingly, and fell silent.

Seeing that Bai Liang was unfamiliar with chopsticks, the teacher's wife said to him: "Xiao Nian, if you really can't get used to chopsticks, go into the kitchen and get a spoon by yourself. Don't listen to your teacher, the most important thing is to have enough food."

Bai Liang got permission from his teacher's wife, and then went into the kitchen to get a spoon.

After the meal, everyone worked together to clear the table, and then we had time to sit in the living room, drink tea, eat fruit and chat.

The teacher's wife was more careful, and noticed a few boxes of things that suddenly appeared in the corner, and said in surprise: "Ah, who brought this gift, why did you bring so many?"

Qin Shu smiled and said, "Isn't it just that they bring in tributes to you every year?"

The teacher's wife looked at Bai Liang and the others and said, "Hey, you children, don't you just say that people come, what are you going to do with so many gifts, don't you have too much money?"

Bai Liang smiled and replied: "I didn't buy this, I told him not to buy too many things, he insisted on buying it."

"He" refers to Shen Heng.

Shen Heng: "It's just some ordinary fruits and supplements. It doesn't cost much. It's not easy to come empty-handed for the first time."

The teacher's wife smiled and said: "You are too polite, child."

When Shen Ruizhe heard the old man call his father "Xiao Shen" and "children", he finally felt balanced.Look, even if his father is usually like a patriarch at home, he has to be obedient in front of the elderly, so what does it matter if he is regarded as a junior?

When everyone was sitting and chatting together, Mr. Chen suddenly mentioned about the troupe. He told Bai Liang that the troupe was preparing for the New Year's performance recently and had already started rehearsals. It would then be performed in the Grand Theater in City B on the afternoon of the first day of the new year. Ask him if he's interested in watching it.

It was the first time Bai Liang heard about it, so he asked, "New play? Are senior brothers and sisters also participating?"

Mr. Chen responded: "Yes, Mr. Guo just finished the script some time ago. Do you still remember Mr. Guo?"

Bai Liang: "Of course I remember. He used to go to our troupe often and brought me candy every time. Is he in good health now?"

Old Chen: "That's not the case. When you get old, your body will always be worse than before. If you have time, you can go to the theater troupe. Maybe you can meet him."

The "Old Guo" they mentioned is a famous playwright in China, who has written many classic dramas and is also a national treasure. Shen Heng has also heard about this.

Bai Liang: "Okay, I will definitely buy a ticket to watch it then."

Both Mr. Chen and his wife are educated people, they don't like to inquire about other people's private affairs, and they didn't deliberately ask about Bai Liang and Shen Heng's affairs during the chat, nor did they make Shen Ruizhe feel the embarrassment of their identities, and gave them enough respect.

Shen Ruizhe gradually relaxed, and even took the initiative to interject a sentence or two, making the old man laugh.

The teacher's wife remembered something important on the way, and went to the study to search for a while, and when she came out, she took a somewhat old photo album and handed it to Shen Heng: "There are many photos of Xiaonian when he was in the troupe, let me show you The way he was when he was a kid."

Shen Heng took it with both hands, and opened it reverently.

Bai Liang didn't expect this to happen, so he went to see what happened. He didn't even remember that he had taken photos in the troupe.

The teacher's wife explained to him: "You are performing on stage, I took the photos while sitting in the family seat, and there are some other photos."

Opening the photo album, I saw Bai Liang as a child.At that time, he hadn't opened yet. He was a small one, wearing a jacket and gown, his lips were painted red, and there was a red spot in the middle of his forehead. He stood on a spacious stage and performed earnestly, without showing any timidity. Look smug.

Shen Ruizhe glanced at it, and said involuntarily: "It turns out that little sticky has been so beautiful since she was a child!"

Qin Shu couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and said: "He has been beautiful since he was a child. Many people thought he was a female doll when they saw him at first sight. He makes skirts and wears them."

Shen Ruizhe laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Little Sticky is wearing a skirt, hahahahahahaha."

Bai Liang glared at him angrily.

Shen Heng was not affected by them at all, and looked down one by one, looking at each one seriously, and fondled the Bai Liang on the photo with his fingers, as if wanting to make all kinds of Bai Liang engraved in the mind.

When the time is almost up, it’s time to prepare dinner. Today is the winter solstice, so it’s natural to have dumplings for dinner. Teacher’s wife rolls out the dumpling wrappers a day in advance and puts them in the refrigerator. You only need to chop pork and cabbage stuffing to make dumplings.

The three of Bai Liang and the others also joined the dumpling-making team. Among them, Shen Heng's skills passed the test. Shen Ruizhe and Bai Liang's dumplings were horrible. After wasting a dozen dumpling wrappers, the two of them said "child Just play while waiting to eat" reason to go to the living room to play.

After eating the dumpling banquet, it was getting late, Shen Heng proposed to leave, and when she went out, her teacher stuffed them with a bag of fresh dumplings for breakfast tomorrow.

The teacher's wife sent him to the door, and finally said to Shen Heng alone: ​​"Xiao Nian, this child has a hard life, so please take care of him."

Shen Heng nodded solemnly, and promised: "I will take good care of him, don't worry."

When I went downstairs, I found that it was snowing outside, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated. Bai Liang covered his head and rushed into the snow, cheering a little. Shen Heng was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he didn't play with the snow for him. Given the opportunity, he stuffed him into the car.

On the way home, Shen Ruizhe had a lot to say to Bai Liang, he was very satisfied with the experience of being a guest today, and even wanted to visit more often.

Bai Liang didn't rest all day, and after the excitement passed, he fell asleep in the car with the heater on. He held Xiong Zai in his arms, listened to Shen Ruizhe talking to him bit by bit, and finally said vaguely One sentence: "If you want to go, you can go there anytime, my teacher and the others will welcome you..."

After receiving Bai Liang's answer, Shen Ruizhe was planning in his mind what excuse he would find to visit the two amiable old people next time. The feeling that the two old people gave him made him feel as if he had returned to the place where he lived with his grandparents before entering the gate of Shen's house. In those days, make others unable to resist wanting to be close to them.

He wanted to ask Bai Liang other questions, but when he turned his head and saw that Bai Liang was already asleep on the back of the chair, he had no choice but to shut up and whispered to Shen Heng who was driving in front: "Dad, Xiao Nian is asleep gone."

Hearing this, Shen Heng raised the temperature of the air conditioner again, and said to Shen Ruizhe, "Don't disturb him, watch him and don't let him bump into you."

These words don't need to be ordered by Shen Heng, Shen Ruizhe will do it, and it has become a habit for him to take care of Bai Liang.

Bai Liang sleeps peacefully, with the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, probably because he is so happy today that he is smiling in his sleep.
